CarpeRemote Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 My recruiting info is limited largely to this board but I’ve followed nationwide FB recruiting in depth for 30 yrs. It’s clear NIL donor driven collectives are dominating recruiting. All P-5 schools will have a ddc by year’s end, and it’s not hyperbole to say any D1 without will be left in the proverbial dust. Virtually all of our ooc competitors have strong collectives but most of their money goes to FB and BB. Which is where UND’s advantage lies. Sioux/Hawks hockey being the jewel of UND sports identity, and as important as the program is to the fan base, UND is uniquely positioned for a hockeycentric collective. With good leadership it’s unlikely anyone could compete. Now for the hyperbole: we have a realistic and doable path to becoming the Bama of hockey. Sounds over-the-top, but because it’s this particular program, build it and the money will come. We need some leaders to lead and I assume it will happen, but hopefully soon. (UMD is the most similar program I can think of with a collective, I don’t know how well it does yet or how much goes to hockey, but they do have a yr head-start) https://umdbulldogs.com/news/2021/7/7/general-umd-announces-nil-program-the-bulldog-advantage.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would raise some cash quickly and people would get something tangible in their hands for their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already been said, but it looks like a lot of these guys are holding out for official visits. I can't for the life of me see how you'd make this jump to that kind of question. I don’t compare our program to just the NCHC. Big competition coming from the Big Ten and Hockey East whether you want to admit it or not! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has enormous potential and we have a helluva pipeline right now. It could be argued that Denver and UMD have passed us in the elite program status. The rest of the NCHC is meh….. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these first few days have actually shaped up pretty nice for UND, especially with the majority of the big name Minnesota guys not committing right away. If they can get these guys on campus they have as good of a shot as any. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big competition coming from the Big Ten and Hockey East whether you want to admit it or not! I was referring to the fact that not many big time recruits committed the first couple of days. The comparison for the NCHC was because well, we play in the NCHC. Btw, did you downvote me for picking on GF?! Been here long?
